Toyota says their latest Prius is the most efficient it has ever been

Toyota says their latest Prius is the most efficient it has ever been

The most fuel-efficient model in the portfolio to date, according to Toyota, was introduced during a ceremony on the night of the 2022 Los Angeles Auto Show. The base front-wheel drive form of the vehicle has a 57 MPG combined fuel economy rating, according to estimates from the automaker. The business created the 2023 Prius with a low centre of gravity, a wider stance, and a lower driving position. It will be available in LE, XLE, and Limited grades. Its roofline is 1 inch broader at the back and 2 inches lower than that of its predecessor. The larger wheels on the XLE and Limited models certainly helped Toyota achieve its goal of a more sporty, contemporary appearance. Of course, the new Prius also offers performance upgrades. It utilises a new lithium-ion battery that gives a 15% improvement in output over the lineup’s outdated nickel metal battery technology and Toyota’s fifth generation hybrid powertrain. This implies that the business was able to create a battery for the car that was lighter and smaller without sacrificing performance. Toyota has also given Prius a larger two-liter gas engine because it is still a hybrid and does not completely rely on electricity for propulsion.

The front-wheel drive models, according to the company, have a 194 horsepower output and can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 7.2 seconds, which is quicker than the 9.8 seconds required by the previous FWD models. The All-Wheel Drive variants can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 7 seconds and produce 196 horsepower. Three driving modes are available on all models: Eco, which improves fuel efficiency, and Power and Sport, which sharpen the throttle response. Other amenities include the Toyota Audio Multimedia system, which is compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and six USB-C connections. Aside from a voice-activated intelligent assistant and cloud navigation that can download the most recent map, traffic, and routing data from the cloud, Toyota’s Connected Service Drive Connect also provides owners with access to these features. And if drivers are really having trouble locating their next location, they may also use the Destination Assist tool to contact a live employee at any time of day.

The vehicle has Front and Rear Parking Assist with Automatic Braking and Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross Traffic Alert for driver support. The Limited edition contains a hands-free system that can assist drivers with parallel parking or backing into a parking space, as well as a Panoramic View Monitor that offers a live rotating 360-degree view surrounding the vehicle.

The 2023 Prius will also include the most recent iteration of Toyota’s Safety Sense generation, which enables a pre-collision system with pedestrian recognition, lane departure alert with steering assistance, and cruise control. Proactive driving aid, which allows for gradual braking into curves or when it detects a car, pedestrian, or cyclist ahead of the vehicle, is a new addition to the feature and to the Prius as a whole. The price and availability of the 2023 Prius have not yet been announced by Toyota, although it has promised to do so before the year is over.
